Thinkpad r40e, unusable if boot with ACPI.PSD (ACPI 3.04)

[Peter]

ACPI V3.01 and V3.02, system slows down so much that keyboard keys are missed

Description: I use a Thinkpad r40e. ACPI V3.01 does not shutdown the laptop I tried V3.02, but never did have the opportunity to try shutdown. The whole pc is massively slowed down. Mouse moves, and keystrokes are missed, the system is very unresponsive. Removing ACPI V3.xx fixes slowdown. The slowdowns are not consistent, only about once every 20 secs.

ACPI V2.13 and APM.add V1.06 work with this laptop with no major issues to report.

I suspect that this problem might be affecting netwk apps too.

Do "copy acpica$ acpi.log" and attach here pls

Later, a re-install with new cvs is required first - this will take a little time.

logs of acpi 3.04 (on eCS 2.0 rc2 !_not rc3_!)

[maulman]

Sorry Pasha,

I somehow lost your email asking for further information. I have installed ACPI 3.04 on my eCSV2.0 rc2 installation, and I did not want install rc3.

Anyway, I hope this gives you the information you require. V 3.04 is much better than V3.03, but when typing sometimes characters are missing (interrupt problem ?), this gets worse over time.

Do battery show correct? In AC and in battery power.

Replying to pasha:

Yes, everything works. Battery Power takes >60 seconds to open. Other Apps are slow to open. Boot times are long. Text edit is impossible, characters are lost.

Success working T40 has:

and in acpi.cfg:

LINK LNKA 10

LINK LNKH 6

Note: Here was removed uhci drivers for success suspend/resume S3.

Hi Pasha,

Sorry, r40e is not like T40.

Changes crash this PC.

[pasha]

You have many devices using 1 IRQ - IRQ11, for each link you can choice from 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11. Also, don't use IRQ for ISA device. For example, if you have com1 - don't use IRQ4, if have LPT1 - don't use IRQ7, if have FDD - don't use IRQ6. You havelinks for setting:

LNKA

LNKB

LNKG

LNKI

LNKH

All this link use IRQ11 in share mode. It is bad, so part from this link need remove to any IRQ from possible.

Intersting. Some people at Warpstock complained that ACPI was putting all irq's on 11.

What does LINKxxx mean? What is a link. Why does ACPI not set this automatically?

[pasha]

I say, if you set in ACPI.CFG

LINK name newirqnumber

Then acpi try change IRQ for all device, which are controlled by this link. ACPI only set all, that has your ACPI table. Auto route balancing don't do, because many manafacters don't do full check own ACPI table. So can be problem with LINK. One of problem you see.LINK LNKH 6 crashed your PC.

Ok, adjusted all links until irq conflict gone. PC still works, net access ok. added apm.add The bug is the same as before. No change!

[pasha]

Attach current log (after your IRQ resolving) and say email where I can send version for test.

irq 11 has 2 devices attached. broadcom device to another irq stops mpts, apm.add still slows system

IRQ8 is absent in possible. Ok. What is a email for send test version?

I tried irq 6,7,9... also, no difference.

You can send info/test to peter at mensys dot nl (replace 'at' with @, 'dot' with .)

Thanks :)

The problem is the same. Maybe not as bad as before.

Get acpi.psd from http (where you get acpi-t.zip), boot, then attach log

acpi-t2

I typed some text in E editor

With apm.add

"This atst o see what is going on Thesystem seems terr unresponsive."

apm.add removed

"This is a test to see what is going on. The system seems terribly unresponsive"

At ​http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php I see 2 ACPI table for IBM ThinkPad R40e, can you try it?

This table can be use by acpi.cfg:

FILE name_file

name_file must be in \os2\boot directory

[maulman]

added pci.log

[maulman]

No change since first report 8 Nov 07

Bug is not fixed by:-

LINK statements

FILE statements

Test files

What now....

[pasha]

file_name mean, what you download table from sourceforge, place this file to \os2\boot and write to acpi.cfg FILE this_file_name, for exapmle, you donwload file with name R40e.aml, next you write FILE R40e.aml

[Chuck McKinnis]

Pasha this might help ? BIOS version ? Only did a quick google on this machine.

Here is problem with embedded controller. Also I see error at ACPI init stage. Embedded controller work right, but don't generate interrupt, so we have wait and slow work. I try small change in embedded controller works - this don't help. So next step - change ACPI table. About BIOS I don't know, I have't TP R40e. This can be one of possible case, but note - this is dangerously case.

[maulman]

Neither file allows ACPI to start.

ERROR warning when booting.

My BIOS is 2.10 (in PCI.LOG)

Machine:

Type = 2684-QVG

Num = KBBV542 306

No bios info visible

[maulman]

ubuntu CD will not run on this machine

freebsd CD works perfect, including ACPI

[pasha]

Ok. I see. Linux man remove from your table all, that give error in compile. This is IRQ routing and embedded controller. I need some time for try compile your DSDT and resolve error.

BTW, Link LNKB 8 is not good idea, change or leave in 11

[pasha]

Try use this table, you need write to acpi.cfg:

FILE dsdt.aml

File dsdt.aml copy to \os2\boot.

If boot, create acpi.log and attach here

[maulman]

V3.05 - still the same

[maulman]

Hi Pasha,

Sorry, it is still the same. 100% identical problem.

[pasha]

Need GetTable FACP and table.dat attach here. GetTable.exe you can find in ​http://fortuna.odessa.ua:8080/GetTable.exe

Hi Pasha,

Table is attached.

[pasha]

Do you try update new BIOS from ThinkPad support site?

[maulman]

Hi Pasha,

Updated bios to latest version 1.13 (year=2003) -> 1.38 (year=2005). No change.

[pasha]

Attach acpi.log pls after BIOS update, with comment FILE in acpi.cfg and output Iasl -d too

Sorry for the long delay.

Installed eCS rc4 after a major disk crash.

I cannot get APM.ADD to shut down PC anymore.

The bug is disabled if battery power monitor is not used.

ACPI will not work on this laptop.

I suggest you say r40e is not supported, and close this bug.

[Chuck McKinnis]

5 monthes.. The tester is tired, let's close the ticket.

We must support any Thinkpad ​http://ecomstation.ru/projects/ecspc/?action=notebook
